WHOA! A great YA fantasy story! Breena enjoys her non-stressful life. All she has to do is keep mugs of beer full and make sure they have wood for the fire.

Then one day........

The twists and turns in this book might be expected to some readers, but not to this one. There aren't many books that I read and my jaw drops during the body of the book. In the last chapter, sure. I love a good cliffhanger. But the bombs dropped in this book strategically placed in a spot where most readers wouldn't expect it. WOW.

Anyway, The Threats of Sky and Sea is a fantasy story set in a world where people of magic come from the land they are born in. There aren't many people who wield magic, so when Breena is told she is one (you find out in the first couple of chapters. I didn't ruin it for you.), she believes they are mistaken. She has no power. She is no one.

For those who don't know and that I haven't told, this series is my absolute favorite EVER! It has everything I love in a book: witches, secrecy, romance, history, double crossing, familial relationships, power, and camaraderie.

I can't talk about this book without giving away everything from the first two, just please know that if you begin this series, you will not be disappointed. It is beautiful, heart breaking, heart lifting, funny, sweet, awe-inspiring, and one of those book that makes you cheer for the underdog.

I saw yesterday that Book of Life is on the NY Times Top 20 bestseller list. It definitely deserves to be there. I haven't read too many books that capture my attention and that make me so giddy when I get to read them as these books. I remember when I saw it on netgalley.com and my heart stopped for a second. As soon as I could gather myself, I requested to read it and then checked multiple times a day until I was approved. I began reading it immediately and didn't stop until I finished it. There aren't many 600 page books that I can read in one sitting. But these books. *sigh* They are heads and shoulders above everything else I've ever read.
